826 Valencia Alum Gives Back, One Comic at a Time, by Erica Hellerstein

With her sleek bob, slight frame and funky patterned sneakers, 15-year-old Emma T. Capps looks like she just hopped off the pages of a comic book. Even her last name — short, sassy and perfectly animated with bubble letters — seems destined for the funnies.

The Chapel Chronicles is an entertaining look into the life of a young girl, by Robert Sodaro

Emma T. Capps is a pretty a-typical for a teenager; Sure she is bright, energetic, funny, cute and passionate about her entertainment. However, where she differs from most of her peers is that she is also an award-winning cartoonist...

Emma Capps is a pretty typical webcartoonist except for one thing: she hasn't graduated from high school yet. Her series "The Chapel Chronicles" is an all-ages strip that tells of the adventures and fantastic imaginings of Chapel Smith, a Lady Gaga-obsessed 11 year-old with a fondness for elaborate headwear and a pet hedgehog named Rupert who tends to sit on top of her head.

Emma T Capps. Not someone you have heard of? Maybe not, but I am sure you will some day. What makes me say this? Well, she has talent. At the age of 14 she is already an award winning cartoonist, author, and artist in addition to being published in multiple trade magazines...

This is a collection of several episodes from the Chapel Chronicles web comic, a funny, smart four panel strip that is something like a cross between Pat Brady's
Rose is Rose
and Jimmy Gownley's
Amelia Rules!

What makes it worth reading is Capps' obsession with detail: adding eye pops, taking jokes to strange places (like popping into Alice's Adventures In Wonderland at one point) and even her artist's comments below each piece.

Jam Days is a smaller digest-sized affair that is an original piece intended for print, not reprints of her infamous webcomic The Chapel Chronicles, so naturally I was even more interested in this “true” mini-comic than what I’d seen before.

An eighth-grade project has spawned a comic-art business for Emma Capps of San Carlos.

For the project at The Nueva School in Hillsborough, students did something involving their life passion and shared it with one another. For Emma, that was drawing comic strips and making greeting cards.

This week's #WebComicFriday pick comes from an unlikely source. Her name is Emma T. Capps, and she's 14 years old. Yet, she's managed to create a sweet, adorable character named Chapel Smith. Chapel is
described as "A zany girl", and is the star of the weekly Chapel Chronicles. Chapel has a wild imagination, and her wit is often thwarted by her babysitter, Fred.

Emma T Capps has written and illustrated an account of gathering cherry plum fruit "Jam Days," which also includes a recipe for cherry plum jam: www.chapelchronicles.com.

This is probably the most obscure and interesting reference to my comic art, Jam Days. The story involves gathering cherry plum fruit from local trees in my hometown of San Carlos, but I also noticed
many cherry plum trees at Stanford University last summer while attending EPGY.

Now this little girl was the cutest, sweetest person at the show with the best rehearsed pitch EVER. She came up, introduced herself as Emma T. Capps, explained to me that she is a 14 year old cartoonist who
had the Gold Medal at the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. She then asked if she could give me a submission of comics, buttons and postcards. As if the poise and moxie aren't enough, she is a damn fine
cartoonist in her own right. We will be hearing much more from Emma.

Across from the BCR table was Emma T. Capps, a 14-year-old whose “Jam Days” won the Gold Medal at the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Her foreshortening skills alone are enough to guarantee that she’s
got a future as an artist, and she self-promotes with the energy and verve only a young teenager can.

Perhaps one of the most exciting parts of attending the annual MoCCA Festival (the eclectic comicbook convention that supports the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in New York City) is the appearance of
youthful, energetic, entertaining, and incredibly talented newcomers to the field. We were reminded of this when we crossed paths with Emma T. Capps, a 14-year old, award-winning author, artist, and creator
of The Chapel Chronicles, an on-line & print comic that details the wildly silly antics of an 11-year old girl named Chapel Smith.....

San Mateo Times
An eighth-grader at The Nueva School in Hillsborough, Emma won the Gold Medal at the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for her comic strip, "Jam Days."

The competition attracted 185,000 submissions in 30 categories, including poetry, humor, journalism, film and animation. Renowned artists, authors and educators judged the students' works, which were rated
on originality, technical skill and the emergence of personal vision or voice.

Emma has also designed a line of 25 greeting cards in English and Spanish for a school project and will be selling them along with her comic and cartoon art, donating the profits to 826 Valencia, the charity
that is nearest to her heart and where she was introduced to her art teacher, Dan Archer...

The League of Fonts
THE LEAGUE OF FONTS is where typefaces are born. Every time a font is created in the world, it manifests as a living, breathing, Font – human for all intents and purposes, but unable to age or die unless their typeface falls into disuse. They live together on the League of Fonts, which serves as a secret island hub, bustling corporation, and home. It’s a world full of its own internal intrigues like any office, and Times New Roman is its powerful CEO. He’s got a lot on his plate lately: planning the League’s famous Decennial party, struggling with modern technology, and hiding his embarrassing addiction to the Twilight movies. Times New Roman is confident he can keep everything under control…but what’s an old font to do when a young boy named Louis Pepping accidentally stumbles onto the secrets of the League?
